Gone are the days of paper billboards. Digital signage with remotely configured content is here. In a typical system, each cluster of signs is connected via Wi-Fi to a nearby router that communicates back to a control center over the LTE network. Advertisers pay for a schedule, and with content being managed real-time, loss of connectivity is not an option. The Wi-Fi antennas used on the signs must be robust and weather resistant, require no servicing, and have a small footprint to mount on relatively thin signs. Initial installation with tight schedules is also a challenge. Short lead-times are required to avoid multiple trips to the installation site or delaying “go-live” dates. Additionally, custom cable lengths are required by installer to ease installation and maximize signal quality
